I think you batted a 1000 on this one. Don’t tell, but I regularly go up 2-3 sizes on repots at times. Learning that many plants have a true front and back was one of my biggest AH HA! break throughs. It moved me from Monstera padiwan to eventual master. (Loved the Star Wars reference, well played.) I agree humidity is way over emphasized in the community. Do you do anything to increase airflow in your home? I’ve recently (~6 months) ran a fan consistently in my solarium and believe it’s really improved the results of the space. In warmer months doors and windows are always open in my house, so there is always good air circulation, but the stronger direct air flow seems to strengthen the plants. Really noticed it on my Alocasias.

I just put it against a south window and the new leaves are sized way up, and clearly happier. I do have to disagree about the humidity though.

Love watching your videos and appreciate all your tips and tricks. Here in southern Ontario, Canada where I live, several plant nurseries close for the winter months. They have 50%off sales of all their houseplants. Saturday I bought a gorgeous Cebu blue pothos on a moss pole for $12.00, it's huge. Unfortunately it was extremely pot bound and very dry. So I implemented several of your tips, I used the easiest repotting method and I agree it's pretty slick. I also just let the roots be, they were just like cement, so dried out. I gave it a good watering and put it in a south facing window. It already looks better, fingers crossed it will continue to thrive. Thank you for all your postings, I just love your sense of humour, very much like mine...a little dash of sarcasm.

I'm with you on these. I repotted a fern today, I use water conditioner after you recommended it and I also don't let any cuttings callous over. They've always been fine. I have most of my plants in wooden IKEA trough stands in front of my south-facing floor-to-ceiling patio doors. In the summer I hang a net curtain and move them back a bit as they burn but at the moment, it's so gloomy that I've got them all pressed right up against the glass to get as much light as possible. My succulents can handle the full sun of the south-facing bedroom windowsill though. They looked amazing this year. Thanks for another great video, Richard.

I agree with your “bin the plant if it’s not going as expected”. At some point it’s just not worth the effort and money. If it’s infested and you live in Europe, buying a new plant might even be cheaper than the treatment (like those predatory mites, it’s not worth the investment if your collection is small).

I live in Scotland. If your plant is behind glass, it’s not in direct light. Blast it away. Put the same plant on an exposed balcony, in the same light, with no glass, it WILL sunburn. Tried it out purposely with a succulent - and could absolutely see what direct sun will do. I’m also fortunate to have a North window that’s floor to ceiling, but it faces the sea with no obstructions. My Monstera was getting defenestrations in front of this window which only saw actual sunbeams for an hour in the morning. Picking up a light meter from here on out, because that’s the only way to know what’s what going forward!

I agree. The plant world of advice can be very confusing. Looking for advice on alocasias, I found advice to keep it more in the dry side of watering and others more on the damp side. When I started wanting a Thyme plant, the content I found was that well draining soil is essential because it hates having its feet wet. Guess what? The only Thyme plant I propagated that survived and it's actually thriving is in a kratky setup... 🤯🤷♂️

Sorry about your pineapple experience. As someone who views every pineapple as a new plant with some bonus food to distract me while I wait for roots, the only one I've had rot was one I put in soil. I leave them to really callous over for a couple days and then stick them in a jar with water and basically forgot about them. I've had 4 plants get to pineapple fruit stage. 1 I thought had died and didn't water it for months. Grew a pineapple when the rainy season perked it up. Try again, don't be precious with them and some benign neglect might get you a rooted pineapple top. Good luck!

PS I bought small humidifier for my sunroom to run about 4hours in the morning. Think my elephant ears needs a bit humidity.😉

If your calathea stands near other plants, then no wonder you don't need to add 1000% humidity (that was funny part btw. XD), she gets it from her neighbours.

I am not a propagation master at all 😭 I repotted a snake plant and it lost a few leaves so I tried propagating them. The one in perlite totally died. The one in water is slowly rotting. I have 2 small leaf cuttings in soil. I hope those survive. I'm super stubborn so I'm gonna keep trying 🙃

I dont try to raise my humidity either, if it cant survive my conditions, i dont get again. I live in a hot, dry, arid climate and humidifiers can cause mold and mildew problems.

AKCHUALLY, a Jedi Apprentice would become a Jedi Knight before they become a Master. Also, Anakin was a Jedi Knight but was never granted the rank of Master. Shocked that no one has called you out for that gaffe yet!

Can you do a video on how to keep alive seasonal plans as poinsettia or the mini Christmas tree (sold in Tesco) I get so sad every year when they die 😢

I've got a poinsettia one you can search for on the channel

Will do! But that was last year, this year I got the mini tree which I can’t even identify 😅

Mr Sheffield.... Since i moved to new house, timber house, my humidity dropped down drastically, and some of my plants started to... Die 😵💫😵💫😵💫 my string of pearls started to die(mushy lil balls) despite no changes to rain watering and place on sill window 😭😭😭😭 what's wrong...??????? Heeeelllp
@SheffieldMadePlants 6 ай бұрын
Hard to say but could be the change from high to low humidity. Are they grouped together?

Them ones not, downstairs window sill I've placed them. In a top room where it no furniture, I've placed them together, crowded, and they are fine.😢😳

Re: full sun. I live in Central Florida, and it is obnoxiously sunny and hot for much of the year. I have lots of plants outside that get plenty of direct sun and grow like crazy. The same kinds that have youtube plant people preaching can only handle indirect light. (And then say that they are slow growers. Hhhmmm)
